Used vehicle review: 1996 to 2005 Jaguar XK loved for exclusivity, style - TheChronicleHerald.ca
Model: 1996 to 2005 Jaguar XK. Vehicle Type: Performance Coupe / Convertible. History/Description The last-generation Jaguar XK series might be the most popular used model to satisfy shoppers after a classy British performance coupe or convertible. This luxurious model debuted with a four-litre V8 generating 290 horsepower, and was eventually joined by a supercharged version of that engine with 370 ponies in the ‘XKR’ model. XK owners taking to the web say they feel like they’re driving a piece of art, and comment positively on the available acceleration and handling capabilities. What Owners Dislike Numerous owners wish for more comfortable seats, a richer and higher-quality cabin feel, and less wind and road noise at speed. Finally, many drivers note that the XK is a large, heavy car and handles like one—albeit crisply and with plenty of grip. Common Issues Used Jaguars are largely bought for performance, looks and exclusivity first, and for reliability. Source: thechronicleherald.ca
